The McAllister Park ball club is the first area team to reach the big dance for little leaguers. And while the team’s expenses are covered by the Little League Organization, families have to pony up out of their own pockets for travel, eats and a hotel.

“Time Warner Cable is excited to be part of this historic drive to bring a Little League World Series title to San Antonio,” Gavino Ramos, vice president of communications for Time Warner Cable said in a statement.

“For these young men to have reached this milestone is a credit to their hard work and the support of the families and coaches. This is great for our community, our city, and our state.”

According to San Antonio Sports, it will cost about $6,000 for a family of four to make the trip — ouch!
